OF Committee on Gas-City Comp
trOller's Communications
To the Honorable President and Com
mon Council:
The Committee on Gas and Water, to
whom the attached communication of
the City Comptroller, with the bill of
| the st. Paul Gaslight company was re-
ferred, beg leave to report that they
| have have had the gas meters in the en-
CINE houses and Market house tested,
with the following result: Headquar-
tiers engine house meter 10 per cent. per
| LOCO cubic feet fast. Market house
meter per cent. per 1000 cubic feet
fast. No. 5 engine house meter, where
the quantity of gas used is enormous, as
compared with the other engine houses,
was found to be correct. Your commit
tee recommend that the City Comp
troller be instructed to deduct 10 per
cent. from the bills of the st. Paul Gas
| light company for the gas used in the
headquarters building, commencing
with the time the gas meter was placed
in said building, which committee find
| to be February, 1886, and also per cent.
of the bills for gas used in Market house
since February, 1856. In regard to No.
5 engine house your committee would
| recommend that the Chief of Fire De-
partment have the matter looked into
and see what is the cause of so much
gas being consumed. Very respectfully,
r. L. O'CoNNoR, Chairman.
